Rod Lift Workflows With MCP

Three field problems worked from the first prompt to a result, with RodSim and RodSim Dynamics running on your own wells.

Run RodSim Dynamics on PERM-3304. Which operating conditions stay inside the limits?

Called PetroBench tools
  • execute-simulation
  • poll-job
  • get-simulation-results

1,038 of 1,221 cases stay inside the limits. Gearbox load causes most failures, above 5.5 SPM at low pump intake pressure.

PERM-3304, 1,221 Dynamics cases
Cases
Inside all limits 1,038
Over gearbox limit 111
Over rod loading limit 52
Under rod min stress 20

Downsize a Pump Before a Rod Pull

A rod pull for offset frac protection is a chance to change the pump. The question is whether a smaller pump still makes the rate at a load the unit carries well.

PERM-4821 is having its rods pulled for offset frac protection. Based on last month's average production, use RodSim to see if we can downsize the pump to 1.75 in or 1.5 in.

Open the Workflow

PERM-4821, example result

Run the 1.75 in Pump

Pump Stroke rate Gearbox load
2.0 in 5.6 SPM 96%
1.75 in 7.1 SPM 86%
1.5 in 9.2 SPM 84%

Next step: Save the 1.75 in case as a draft for the rig job.

Diagnose a Gearbox Overload

Gearbox alarms can come from the design, from a change in the well, or from both. The inputs usually sit in three different places.

PERM-4821 shuts down on gearbox overload alarms. What is the root cause?

PERM-4821, example result

Fluid Pound Is Driving the Load

At 5.0 SPM At 4.0 SPM
Gearbox load 94% 78%
Pump fillage 71% 88%
Max rod stress 82% 76%
Oil rate 157 bopd 155 bopd

Next step: Save the 4.0 SPM case as a draft for review.

Find Safe Operating Conditions

A single design point says little about a well that changes through its life. RodSim Dynamics runs the range and reports which limits fail.

Run RodSim Dynamics on PERM-3304. Which operating conditions stay inside the limits?

Open the Workflow

PERM-3304, example result

Stay Below 5.5 SPM at Low PIP

  • 1,038 inside limits
  • 111 over gearbox
  • 72 over rod limits

Next step: Open the run in PetroBench to see every case.
